Course Description

The decision making process for sinus elevation surgery will be reviewed as well as sinus anatomy, surgical techniques, and instrumentation required for sinus surgery. Management of complications will also be discussed.

Option I: AM-Lecture; PM-Clinical Observation ($325)

Option II: AM-Lecture; PM-Clinical hands-on working with your own patient ($1,300, no fee to your patient)

To participate in the hands-on session, you must bring your own patient. The patient will need to have a Dentascan/CTscan performed and sent to us for review prior to the course. Upon approval as a patient, they need to register as a patient with Columbia University on the day of the procedure. Columbia CDM will supply all grafting materials for the course, including surgical equipment. The course will not include implant placement.

For all observers and participants, you must provide a copy of your dental license, cv/resume, signed medical form showing that you are current with all required professional inoculations, plus sign a patient privacy confidentiality form.

To participate in the hands-on portion, you must also provide a copy of your COI showing Columbia University as additionaly insured for the day of the procedure.
